Andrew, I enjoyed your story about the sack of cards, but was sad to hear you didn't get them back. I have a similar story that happened to me in probably the same year, about 1974 when I was in high school. At the time, I was buying up collections from kids that were done collecting. One kid brought in a sack of cards to school that I bought from him (for probably about $5). Same as you, I was looking at them for too long after the bell rang, and same as you, they got confiscated by the teacher. They were 1960s cards, I think there were a lot of 1964s in there. My story ended happier, though, as I asked the teacher for them back after class and he gave them to me.
